Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was foldin' up your letters, unpacking winter clothes
Searchin' for my hat, I thought I left it by the door
So I tore around the room like a bird without a head
I saw your picture wavin' back at me from underneath the bed
From a long, long time ago
[Verse 2]
When all I had was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure, the one that you wore
You loved the look, but you never looked inside
You woulda seen me there, you coulda seen far
You shoulda seen the magic in my hat full of stars
[Verse 3]
I'm tryna live in the present, but I keep trippin' on the past
Findin' out reality, well, clarity comes in drips and drabs
No, we never had the time for everything we had
So it felt like we had nothing, that's what makes this hat so sad
It was a long, long time ago
[Verse 4]
When all we had was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure, the one that you wore
You loved the look, but you never looked inside
You woulda seen us there, you coulda seen far
You shoulda seen the magic in my hat full of stars (My hat full of stars)
In my hat full of stars (In my hat full of stars)
[Verse 5]
Now whenever I'm alone and I think I might forget
I wear my lucky hat just like a crown upon my head
[Verse 6]
'Cause all I had was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure, the one that you wore
You loved the look, but you didn't look inside
If you could see me now, you woulda seen far
You shoulda seen the magic in my hat full of stars (My hat full of stars)
In my hat full of stars (In my hat full of stars)
In my hat full of stars (In my hat full of stars)
In my hat full of stars
